毒理性
评估:有足够的人类证据表明镉及其化合物具有致癌性。有足够的实验动物证据表明镉化合物具有致癌性。对于镉金属的致癌性,实验动物中仅有有限证据。在做出整体评估时,工作组考虑到了证据表明离子态镉会在包括人类细胞在内的多种真核细胞中引起遗传毒性效应。总体评估:镉及其化合物对人类具有致癌性(第1组)。
Evaluation: There is sufficient evidence in humans for the carcinogenicity of cadmium and cadmium compounds. There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of cadmium compounds. There is limited evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of cadmium metal. In making the overall evaluation, the Working Group took into consideration the evidence that ionic cadmium causes genotoxic effects in a variety of types of eukaryotic cells, including human cells. Overall evaluation: Cadmium and cadmium compounds are carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
